The Jungle Book Trip

THE ULTIMATE BLOG CHALLENGE DAY 19
 
March 2011, my team at office decided to go for a trip to Kanha National Park, Madhya Pradesh. The trip ended up being on of the most memorable ones I have ever had, of course, because of the tigers we spotted but also because we did lot of pre-planning before the trip. As it was a safari to the jungles which inspired out very own Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, we decided to have a Jungle Book theme for our trip. We started off by choosing a character from the story for each of us, and then decided to have T-shirts printed with each of the character photographs. But alas, the time was too short and the printer asked for a humongous amount. But we were determined about wearing the tees, so we decided to paint them ourselves. And painting being something I am passionate about, I jumped into it with glee! 
And this is what came out at the expense of a whole Saturday afternoon in one of the office meeting rooms!


 

  





So, with the T-Shirts done, we were happy, excited, elated. We wore it while going for a early morning safari, and this is how we all looked.



Thank God, the printer guy didn't work out for us. I would have missed all the fun seeing my colleagues run around with paints and brushes, spilling them over, tumbling over water containers. And for that one single day, me, a then fresher in the team, was the project lead! Ah, what bliss!!!
